Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we took Riley to a pumpkin patch at a Methodist church near our house. I wanted to get some pictures of him among the pumpkins in his cute Halloween outfit. We went before lunch thinking it would be cooler, but that turned out to be the entirely wrong time of day to go. Not only was it hot, but the sun was so bright that Riley didn’t want to open his eyes! After strategically placing pumpkins around him to create a bit of shade we got some decent shots.

We then decided to make a second stop at a garden center to see if their pumpkin setup was any better. Their displays were pretty cute, but the sun was still an issue. Riley was not very happy with us shuffling him to different locations but then he actually fell asleep nestled in some pumpkins right before we left. Priceless!

On Sunday we decided to try again later in the day to see if we could get any better shots. We went back to the garden center about an hour before sunset and got lots of pictures with him calm and completely awake. No more sun in the eyes! I wish we had been able to capture a smile or two, but I guess there’s always next year for that. :)
